Tough away day, there recent for is good whilst ours is Patchy at best. They will be looking for 3 points to ease relegation jitters.
Hopefully we'll play a strong team to get us over the line. Barring injuries would go with
Byrne
MWH Perritt Baines Jones
Lundstram Marriott
Maxi
Hulme Linney Sinclair
If baines injured then Ferguson
They have a leakier defence than ours, lets get after them.
-
I assume James Jones is banned for 3 games then?
That would be my team.
Dorking 3-4 Alty (Linney x2, Hulme, Sinclair)
Good luck and safe journey to all

I guess it's back to Osborne on the left wing then.

I'd try Hugill out there - see my post on the other thread.

Give Goodson a run. We've surely got to start with at least one winger?
Surely we couldn't start Osborne?

Goodson is out on loan at Spennymoor.
I think it would be good for Aaron Bennett to get a good hour or so in the tank as he gets back to full fitness.
We may go three at the back again if Baines is available, meaning we'd do away with wingers anyway.
-
Now we have lost Sinclair, then stick to wingbacks, even though I would always choose wingers
Bynre
Jones Ferguson Baines
MWH Marriott Lunstram E.Jones
Oyedele
Hulme Linney

That's not such a bad team to be honest.

Isn't James Jones suspended though?
-
Think he's thinking of Perritt rather than James Jones? That's what I'd go with.
-
Yeah, sorry, put Perritt in for suspended Jones.
-
I think James Jones might be banned for 4, having been sent off twice
-
We'd better hope that this line up comes up with the goods then. It's virtually the only option we're left with.
Come on you Robins, bring us home some points! 👍🇦🇹
-
Looking at the BBC site, looks like we're going 4-2-1-3 ... Linney in, Ferguson not. 🤔
-
By the way things are going, we're going to win this 7-5! 😉
PS. I'd settle for us winning 2-1 though 😉
-
is the 7-5 back on now?
-
Garbage
-
Sorry for jinxing us folks! 🙄😔
-
i'm looking forward to the post-match interview.
i wonder which combination of options it will be today?
bad performance/bad result bad ref
great performance/bad result/ bad ref
bad performance/great result/great ref(prob not this one)

Hopefully changes are afoot. We can’t go on conceding goals like we do. It’s ridiculous. I don’t want to hear we are a young side or we haven’t got as much money to spend on players etc. Even if it’s true, I’m sick of hearing this mantra
-
The word 'sh*t' will probably suffice.
-
I certainly think a more commanding goalkeeper would help
-
We can't keep blaming the keeper though; there's clearly an issue at the back - no combination of centre backs has worked this season.

So it's the keeper then.

Very important for CB's to trust their keeper.

Needs to be some degree of change over the summer if we want to be a stable top half side next year. I'd love to hear more about the rationale behind not practising set pieces, but simply to provide players the information they need. I wonder how far that applies to other areas of our game. Thinking back to Sinnott's absurd 20/20 pledge, something just focused on the number of goals conceded will be something I'm looking for next season. I'm guessing the budget won't stretch, but maybe some external help is required to coach the side on defensive aspects of the game. Anyway, what was looking like a good, exciting end to the season a month ago is now pestering out into nothingness and a team finishing 18th is a lot less attractive than one finishing 12th, so it's a bit naff all round really.
-
Utter tosh after 7 mins.
Linneys goal was f**king magical though. Let's build around him in the pre season up front.
-
If we're going to be a top half club next season it's likely to be in National North. It is absolutely essential that we beat Dagenham on Tuesday, because if Torquay and Aldershot are still within catching distance they'll fight like tigers in our last two games.
There was talk on here about us relegating Aldershot on the last day of the season. On current form it isn't impossible that it could be the other way round.

Don't be daft.

We're nowhere near going down but, sadly, my earlier gloomy prediction re the last four league games is 25% correct already.
Would be lovely to reach 60 points but I'm a touch sanguine on that front.
-
sadly we are not safe yet

We're not mathematically safe, and until we are we should take nothing for granted. Provided Torquay don't perform some sort of miracle at Wrexham we should survive, but we have a lot to sort out this summer.
-
At the risk of being thought a 'happy clapper', it's been a very difficult year of transition to full time but I've got total confidence in the Club and the management duo to sort things out with much needed summer recruitment so that we can become less dependent on the loan market and can stabilise in (at least) midtable.

Starting to physically practice defending set pieces instead of talking about it would be a good start.

at the start of the season I just wanted us to survive our first season as a full time team . Whilst not done and dusted yet that looks highly likely.
We must be sat on some money at the club aren't we ?
What with the shares scheme and player sales (an issue for us now as we are full time and our best players are there for the talking not an issue when we were part time)
And if we are sat on money we need to put it at Phil's disposal this summer to push on

Speaking of which, does anyone know if we're still allowed to actually watch training sessions? I used to watch them sometimes when they had them at ML, and from by the Brook when they were at the gas works place (I could probably actually have watched from Timperley!). Heathcote always used to tell them to "hit the target" at shooting practise, and was much the best at putting a cross in. He seemed to get them well organised too. The best time was when I saw them practising a move where a player broke away down the right wing towards the corner, back-heeled to a player running up behind him who put it straight into the box. As I remember, they actually used this in the next matc, I think at Farnborough in the FAT, lwhich actually led to a goal (as some of you may remember). It would be interesting to get an idea of what goes on at training sessions these days.

We are stumbling over the finish line here & thank god for that mad week where we did Woking, Barnet & Solihull as at the moment it looks like we’ll only just stay up by maybe 3-4 points. It has been a hard year with player turnover like no other season I can recall, but we are full time now & to go to part time Dorking who played on Easter Mon then had one training session since & throw away a two goal lead is absolutely criminal. The worst part is it would have surprised absolutely none of us.
It doesn’t seem to matter who is available or plays in our defence you get two goals a game off us pretty cheaply (think of the two we let in at Oldham only last week). It’s alright saying we have a young squad & they will improve but our recent league games have been against sides around us in the table & we have taken 1/9. I well recall our last national league relegation, the prior season ended with a terrible run of form, we must arrest this slide on Tuesday night.

Sadly, I agree.

This page (for one) should hopefully demonstrate that it is highly improbable that Altrincham will go down. And that's if we finish on 53 points, I still expect us to add to this. Too many teams need to get ahead of us in too few games.

Thanks for that, H, I was beginning to think I was on my own in my opinion! 😉

Parky was correct we had more than enough chances to win the game. Need to be better at both ends.
